All them pretty horses

Will drag you away....

When the National Geographic Channel was filming this car for their show "Break it Down  Porsche in Pieces

They wanted to see the owner drive away into the sunset.........Fat chance, we where so far behind and there was no time to even align  and corner balance it.  For safety reasons, this was a must.

And even though nobody saw big red burn rubber or doing a zoom zoom dance up and down the 405 Freeway. it was worth the wait.

After getting a big intercooler and installing  a e-boost controller from TurboSmart, the gates opened and all the horses got out, all 436 of them and at 14 lbs of boot they created a lot of torque

The reunion

These two air cooled turbos have not been in the shop since National Geographic Channel aired the episode of "Break it Down"

I was surprised to see them arrive almost at the same time.

 What was called the 75 Beast on National TV came to get a few adjustments and details, and we gave it new HID eyes, and LED bulbs all around, some details around the fog lamps to jazz it up a bit. we also install a high efficiency cooler fan with thermo control unit to make sure oil stay at temperature, even in heavy traffic, after all,   .......this is L. A.

Big red has been quiet  since its TV debut, but now it's ready to play and we have to give it the toys to do so.

A manual boost controller to start, so if you are in need of more boost, just press play.

A couple of electrical Gremlins were running rogue behind the gauges giving the tach and speedo a hard time..........but it's all better now.

Oh ! and the white leather interior got a good scrubbing to get so white as driven snow.

I you haven't seen our cameo on the Nat Geo Channel, feel free...

Porsche in Pieces (National Geographic)

Porsche enthusiasts, mark your calendars...on May 12th at 7:00 pacific time, The National Geographic Channel will air an episode of their series "Break it Down"  featuring L A Porsche Dismantlers;  It's not about us, but we did play a supporting role....In this town, that counts, after all there is no business, like show business.

The lady producer, Denise Prichard,  said:   you guys are going to be on TV,  I was thinking....I should have brought my clown shoes.....Long story short, we have been commissioned to built a turbo engine for this car, Nat Geo was following this car as one of the three they were going to feature on their show. 

Cut !!       again, from the top,........it was an experience, every move was done three or four times, I think  they should make transmission lifting an Olympic sport, after installing that G50 4 times, we felt we deserve some gold , and It is not easy working with a mic taped you chest.                

The star of the show is LAPD and this is their blog
